A.9
Output
The mA output is proportional to the level, in the range 4 to 20 mA. Generally, the output is
set so that the output for 0% is 4 mA, and the output for 100% is 20 mA. 0 and 100% are
percentages of the full-scale reading (m, cm, mm, ft, in).

When SITRANS Probe LR is put into PROGRAM mode it stops responding to the process. It
stores the most recent measurement, and holds the associated readings and mA signal
output. The instrument reverts to the parameter last addressed during the previous program
session.
When the instrument is returned to RUN mode, the transceiver resumes operation. The
reading and mA output default to the last measurement taken. The reading and associated
outputs migrate to the current process level at a rate controlled by the measurement
response (P003).
If SITRANS Probe LR is left in PROGRAM mode for 10 minutes without input, it
automatically reverts to RUN mode.
